When the turkey is all gone and the stuffing has you stuffed, you know Black Friday is only hours away. This year, we partnered with the Oakbrook Center to get you to your favorite stores faster than ever, all holiday season.

uberX launched in Illinois only a short 18 months ago and since then thousands of driver partners have moved hundreds of thousands of riders. Now, thanks to YOU, and the Illinois House of Representatives, uberX and rideshare can keep moving forward!

Leaders across Illinois have showed their support for rideshare and the need for local municipalities to find the model that fits their citizens best. Mayors in every region of the state and multiple councils of government – collectively representing over 70 municipalities – voice their opposition of HB 4075.

Being an Uber driver partner isn’t just about moving people. We believe in helping pave the road to success for everyone who drives on the Uber platform. We’re proud to announce a new partnership with Robert Morris University. Active Uber driver partners are eligible to receive a 10% tuition reduction for any program at Robert Morris University.

In July 2014, the Illinois State Senate passed HB 4075, a bill that hurts consumer choice and safety, limits economic development, and stifles the ability for cities to regulate transportation services in a way that meets their residents’ needs. In September 2014, Governor Quinn vetoed HB 4075 to protect consumer choice in Illinois.

The season of giving has arrived, and we’re here to lend a helping hand. To spread the love, we’ve partnered with our friends at Greater Chicago Food Depository to bring you the Uber Food Drive. Donate, ride and get instantly rewarded!
